Overview

Ulefone Armor 6 is the latest addition to Ulefone's Armor series of ruggedized smartphones. Up to now, every consecutive model has been better compared to its previous sibling and on paper, the Armor 6 seems to be the best of all - improved design and ergonomics, better display, more powerful chipset. All this comes as an addition to the already proven IP68, IP69K and MIL-STD-810G certifications for resistance to dust, water, shock, drops, humidity, pressure, acidic atmosphere, solar radiation and temperature extremes. Thin and elegant, compared to similar ruggedized smartphones, the Armor 6 has all the bangs and whistles to become one of the most preferred ruggedized smartphones in the first quarter of 2019.
